A replacement runs $200 to $500 depending on the vehicle and its sensors, most Throggs Neck cars landing at $250 to $450, and takes 60 to 90 minutes plus safe drive-away time. Come to 2080 Jerome Avenue or have the van come to your driveway. The quote is the same either way.

Once a crack has reached the edge of the glass, run past the length of a dollar bill, or settled where your eyes go, resin is no longer an honest fix and we will say so rather than take the smaller payment now and the bigger one in two months. A windshield is a structural panel: it stiffens the roof in a rollover and it is what the passenger airbag pushes against. The replacement is matched to what the vehicle was built with, tint band, acoustic layer, heated wiper park, camera bracket and all.
The process is unglamorous and it is the whole job. Old panel cut out, frame trimmed back and primed, a continuous bead of fresh urethane laid down, new glass set true and left to take hold. Then a specific safe drive-away time, given to you as a number rather than a shrug, because until that time passes the bond is still forming. Sixty to ninety minutes of work plus the cure. Comprehensive glass coverage gets billed direct if you carry it, which for a lot of drivers means a deductible or nothing at all, and everything gets vacuumed out before the keys go back.
“In 7:30am with broken window, out with new window and vacuumed car at 8:01am. Great price so gave a good tip ahead of time. Good work. 2 thumbs up.”

The distance is what makes this decision different in Throggs Neck. Nine miles each way with no train as a backup means nobody wants to arrive and be told the part is wrong, so we identify the glass before you set off: VIN or year, make and model, plus a word about rain sensors, a heads-up display or a camera behind the mirror. Confirmed in stock, then you travel. The alternative that a lot of people here take is to skip the trip entirely and have the van do the replacement on the driveway, which works well given how many houses have one. The cure runs down while the car sits where it was going to sit anyway, and nobody spends fifty minutes on the Bruckner twice in one day.

In most cases yes, and driveways here are well suited to it. What we need is room to stand beside the car and lift the panel in cleanly, plus dry weather, since urethane will not cure in rain or a hard freeze. The exception is a car that needs static camera calibration afterwards, which requires the shop floor. We will tell you which applies before the van is booked.
You get a definite safe drive-away time once the glass is set, and it varies with the adhesive and the temperature that day. Plan for the car to stay put for a while after the fitting rather than making arrangements around driving off immediately. If there is a school run or a shift you have to make, tell us when booking and we will time the work so the wait lands somewhere harmless.
